In the early going of the 2012 Championships at Wimbledon, it has been a good tournament for American players and a great tournament for upsets. Although not nearly to the level of Thursday's second round upset of Rafael Nadal at the hands of Lukas Rosol, Friday has already featured another seeded player being dispatched by an unseeded opponent.
American men's player Sam Querrey played a second round match against No. 21 seed Milos Raonic of Canada and was able to advance by winning in four sets. The first three sets were grueling tiebreak affairs, but Raonic wilted in the fourth set, allowing Querrey to advance to the third round on scores of 6-7 (3-7), 7-6 (9-7), 7-6 (10-8), 6-4.
Querrey has never made it past the fourth round of any Grand Slam event. Perhaps this will be his year.
